As for me, I'm a definite in-bed-reader (and writer, for that matter!). One of the advantages of sleeping alone in a double bed is that I can scatter books all over the other side of the bed. Great company, and they never snore! Sounds perfect – and I really like the way you turned you son’s moving out into a positive opportunity.

I know it sounds stupid, but I'm at that point now. We send our last one off in less than a month, and I already miss him. The bright side -- that gives me two rooms in which to make special -- maybe a reading room and the other a craft room?

This sounds heavenly - I don't have a good spot to read, in fact, sad to say, I do a lot of reading walking on the treadmill which isn't recommended but very convenient. (ps You have me terribly confused how old you must be...) Oh, yes, I would love to see pictures!

This community of people who know just how I feel about reading is wonderful! I like to read in bed - any time of day. A tall cushioned headboard with pillows propping me up, table with lamp and stack of books, and a place to put a cuppa, I am set. There is also plenty of room for the pup to stretch out, because she has to be next to me at all times. I love the reference to your son. I have a picture of a little boy next to me, too.

Your chair and reading room sound like the perfect hideaway for a bookworm. I wish I had a perfect chair and a reading room (right now it's just wherever - mainly the sofa) but hopefully next time we move I'll get that :) Yes, we need a pic!

I don't have one specific chair, but I do like the armchairs in our sitting room, which are wide (I like to sit cross-wise too) and very comfortable. But I also lie on the small sofa in the back study where I work, and sit upright in the leather club chairs in the main study. But peace and quiet and cosiness are the other main ingredients, I agree. And I love the little photo you have beside you - how sweet. What a lovely place to be!

I like reading on sofa's, in bed, a comfortable chair, it often depends on the mood.
